okay

That doesn't happen in reality.

Used it since I was 16 and I only do the very best and I've been with hundreds upon hundreds of people who never have heard of such a thing.

You're perpetuating a falsehood that has pervaded our culture since the 40s... just stop.

Wow, stoners who justify their behavior and anecdotes as data. Totally legit.

In actual scientific controlled studies an individual was proven 6 times more likely to develop psychosis if he has consumed cannabis more than 50 times. Just what we need, another 2 million lunatics running around loose.

I recall seeing studies like that, and as I recall they just found a correlation.  It was not a controlled experiment.
It may be that people with brains prone to psychosis are also the type of people that seek out marijuana and really enjoy it.
I inhaled pot vapor for an hour at a bar in Amsterdam.  Felt euphoric and confused for about 2 hours after.  And I had gummies in Vegas, that was a very different experience, probably a much lower dose.  The high was very subtle.  I wouldn't go out of my way to do either again. But some of the people I was with couldn't wait to do it again, and try more next time.
Like with alcohol, my personality is more to stay at about 1 or 2 drinks per hour and not stay at a bar or house party longer than about 4 hours. It stops being enjoyable if I go longer, but I always find myself with people who want to overdo it.
I do think that alcohol is also correlated to any number of bad social and health outcomes. I am for legalization of pot just like alcohol. Only for 21 and up. And strict labelling for potency, and inspection.
